/ CBS/AP

TV series are funny, dramatic and more -- but which ones are the most environmentally conscious?

"New Girl," "Parenthood" and "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" have been recognized for supporting green initiatives by the Environmental Media Association.

The organization presented its Environmental Media Awards on Saturday during a gala dinner that also celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Board member Ed Begley, Jr., lauded the Environmental Media Association for encouraging entertainment media to serve as a vehicle to educate the public about environmental concerns.

Guests at the dinner program at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, included Malin Akerman, Lance Bass, Sara Gilbert, Jeff Goldblum and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Other winners announced Saturday were the feature film "Disneynature Bears," the documentary "GMO OMG," the children's program "Paw Patrol" and the digital video "Should We All Be Eating Insects?"
